The combined effect of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and two kinds of reclaimed water was evaluated on the physiological behavior, leaf nutrition and aesthetic value of laurustinus plants. AMF satisfactorily colonized the laurustinus roots, enhanced the structure of soil, increased beneficial nutrients and decreased toxic ions in leaves, stimulated flowering and enhanced the water status of the plants irrigated with reclaimed water. AMF not only ameliorated the negative effects of reclaimed water with high salinity, but also had a positive effect in well watered plants.
